Description of problem:
While trying to install either Red Hat 7.1 or 7.2 on a dual Athlon MP 1800+
machine, the installer crashes, giving the following comment:
<0>Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
This occurs using a graphical, text, or expert install.
The machine uses a Tyan K7 Thunder motherboard using an onboard SCSI
controller. The DVD ROM is the master on the primary IDE controller. A
GEFORCE 3 graphics card is installed as well.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot from Linux RH 7.1 or 7.2 install CD 1
2.just hit enter or use text or expert install mode
3.watch installer crash and system lock up
Actual Results: When I press enter at the boot: prompt of the installer after
booting from the install CD 1, the Penguin appears in the upper left corner of
the screen. Normal information appears to scroll by, the last readable line is
about HDA and my DVD ROM drive. Lots of information scrolls by rapidly
following by a bunch of columns of hex numbers and then the following message:
<0>Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
The system sits there until I reboot.
Expected Results: Linux should have installed.
Additional info:
I have tried the following
noapic
noathlon
ide=nodma
apm=off
x86_serial_nr=1
I have also downloaded the newest version of Anaconda and get the same error.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.
The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases,
